Fiverr.com is pure genius. It's a marketplace for $5 gigs. People can offer any service they want for the set price of $5. When someone makes $5, Fiverr cuts $1 off for their own profit. The site blew up like crazy... So crazy that there are more than 75 copy-cat websites out there. Here is a list of a few of those clone websites.

The idea is kind of brilliant and also entertaining. While you don’t necessarily have assurance that your task will be completed to your standards, you are only shelling out $5 for the task, so it’s not a total loss if the gig falls through or isn’t done well. Fiverr will also post buyer feedback on people who perform tasks. Task performers will be given a positive feedback score, which can be seen by users who are considering hiring them for gigs.

Why couldn't we come up with this idea... Oh well.
